The Colonel and the soldier.

Col. Stephen A Walker is now United
tSates district attorney at New York city.
Walker had served the Union in the innoc-
uous position Of assistant paymaster. One
dark day while Mr. Walker was sitting in
his Office wondering how long he would be
compelled to "loaf " on account of the in
ability of Uncle Sam to pay his boys in
blue, private soldier walked in, and con-
fronted him. The soldier belonged to a Con-
nceticut regiment. Imagine the paymaSter's
surprise when the following conundrum
was put to him by the soldier:
'Say, when do you expect to pay US
men, anyway We haven't had a cent
now in three months ~
The assistant paymaster glared at ais
visitor, and told him neither politely nor
religiously that it was none of his - bust
ness. This was far from satisfactory, and
the soldier proceeded:
''But it is my business, and that is why
am here. The men are not treated with
the slightest justice, and if the United States
amt able to pay them, why you can have
a draft ON New York bank for the amount
due my regiment" f"
Of course there was no alternative left
to Col. Walker but to regard the Connecti-
cut private as a crank. 1t remained only
to be sure just how dangerous a crank he
was.
YOU'D better get back to your camp at
once" said the paymaster. "Who gave
you permission to come here, anyway
Come now, get out, or viii call the guard
and have you placed under arrest. GitP'
Suiting the action to the word the
doughty paymaster arose and proceeded to
fire the private
IL -. -, .,,epn
tell you mean what / say. 1 belong to
the -th Connecticut, and 1 can afford to
pay my regiment, if there's no objection.
Something ought to be done, and I'm will
ing to advance the money. Ny name Is
Elias Hower'
This gave an entirely new aspect 80 the
case, and Paymaster Walker grew quite
deferential The man who stood before
him was the famous inventor Of ths sewing
machine. He could pay his regiment all
their back pay; he had the win, and he had
the money too. Col Walker thought an
apology was demanded The apology wes
given and Elias received it with the air Of
a man who had but little to forgive.
swell, colonel" said he, when this
trouble is over I want you to step down to
New York sometime and see me"
The ''colonel'' lived then in Vermont,
and when the war was closed he managed
to find himself in New York. He had
started law Office; that is to say, he helped
to occupy the Office of few friends Of his.
Business was not specially active. One day
Walker thought he would step in and see
whether Elias Howe recalled the misadven-
ture of the war Two years had then
elapsed. Elias Howe was there and his
memory was good. They sat down together
and talked Howe was from Massachusetts,,
Walker from Vermont The Howe Machine
company had just been organized Wal
ker was appointed its attorney. With an
office in every city, town, and hamlet in the
civilized world, no wonder the Howe Ma
chine company was the foundation Of Wal
ker's fortune-St Paul Dispatch.

Retiring to Primitive simplicity.

Ouspensky, a popular Russian writer, re-
Gently found a river steamboat in the eau
casus plioted by a youth Of II, who, al
though he was possessed Of remarkable in
tellectual qualities, had abruptly aban-
doned his studies for manual toll, with
intent to put Count Tolstoi's doctrines into
practice. Many Russian famiies-people
OF standing and education-are taking
their children from school, abandoning the
delusions of so-called civilization, and retir-
ing into remote country districts, where
they propose TO realize some vague ideal OF
primitive simplicity. This strange move
ment is vigorously supported by Count
Tolstoi. The count divides each day into
four periods separated from one another by
a meal, and he indulges in hard labor and
in literary work alternately. He has thus
become accomplished in bootmaking, ex-
pert in wood splitting and a very decent
agricultural laborer. Whenever he visits
his estates he assists his farm hands in
plowing, sowing, and getting in the crops.

JOHN NJ. WILSON, who was hanged at
Norristown, Pa, last week made state
ment which is an effective temperance
lecture. He killed his victim, as be says,
when delirious with wbiskey." The
condemned murderer inherited an appe-
tite for liquor. from ancestors who little
thought they would by their indulgence
bring any one to the gallows. This in
herited appetite was aggravated by pre-
scriptions containing alcohol. which, hav-
ing accomplished their purpose as medi-
cine. left behind them an Unsuitable
thirst for liquor which ended in blood
shed. In this short record there are
several lessons which every one should
take to heart.

The cars were the most superbly finished
and furnished of any in the world but the
great and novel feature was in having the
cars connected by vestibules as illustrated
in the engraving above so that the passen-
ger can go the entire length of the train
without stepping into the open air.
The vestibules are formed by enclosing
the platforms. Their structure is primarily
a broad, thick frame Of steel extending from
platform to roof and supported by strong
elastic pressure derived from springs
When two cars are connected these frames
press tightly against each other, forcing
back the steel springs. This gives close con-
tact throughout the entire surface Of the
frames sustained by high pressure. In this
way great ~steadiness of movement is i'm
parted to the whole train.
The personal conveniences afforded by the
veStlbules are numerous. In the interior
they are carpeted and furnished. Sheets of
rubber, arranged in folds like those of an
accordeon, owe the points of contact and
by stretching while the train is rounding
curves make the entrance of wind and dust
impossible. Cut glass doors that are barred
while the train is in motion open out on the
steps. The ~vestibules, therefore, serve as
Railways leading from one car to another,
relieving the passenger from the annoyance
of the of the whirlwind of the open platform,
from dust in summer, from snow and in
tense cold in winter, and from storms in
all seasons.
